Pantheon International Participations PLC ("PIP" or the "Company") presents its
interim management statement for the period from 1st July 2009 to 30th
September 2009. This constitutes the Company's first interim management
statement in the financial year ending 30th June 2010, as required by the UK
Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 4.3.
The Company published an unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") as at 30th September

information as at 30th September 2009 and any further developments up to 18th

Investment Objective
PIP's primary investment objective is to maximise capital growth by investing
in a diversified portfolio of private equity funds and, occasionally, directly
in private companies.
Cash Balance and Remaining Facilities
As at 30th September 2009, PIP had cash balances totalling £45m.
In addition at 30th September 2009, £30m of its £150m available bank loan
facility remained undrawn along with £150m of standby commitments to subscribe
for redeemable shares. It should be noted that, if called, £49.5m of the
proceeds from a redeemable share issue under the standby commitments would be
needed to repay the outstanding loan notes.
As such, PIP's available financing capacity stood at £175.5m at 30th September
2009.
Gearing
A total amount equal to £120 million was drawn down under PIP's loan facilities
at 30th September 2009. In addition, the Company has outstanding £49.5m of
unsecured subordinated loan notes.
Calls and Distributions
In addition to sales proceeds from disposals agreed prior to 30th June of £
11.5m, during the quarter ended 30th September 2009 PIP received distributions
from private equity assets of £9.1 million. PIP invested £17.1 million in
private equity assets.
Outstanding Commitments
PIP has made no new commitments to new investments. Outstanding commitments to
investments, which are likely to be called over several years, stood at £389.6m
at 30th September 2009 calculated using exchange rates as at that date.
Performance
The Ordinary share price increased by 33% to 394p and the Redeemable share
price was 350p at both the start and end of the quarter. Since 30th September
the share price of the Ordinary shares has decreased to 334p and the share
